Camel crush.

Camel another colour of the season hit the ground running (or hit the runway strutting), designers at Chloe conceived almost an entire collection of camel coats, smart trousers, dresses and bags. Other designers such as Valentino showcased a spectacular amount of soft camel. A great camel coat is another key piece to have as a staple garment in your wardrobe as the colour trend repeats itself often.

How to work the look:
This colour trend is fantastic in the sense that you can go as dramatic or as tame as you like with it, it can also translate into many different style genres. It can lend itself to the working woman or the "gothy" bitch who struts the streets in her leather skinny fit trousers, the highest of heels and acid blonde hair. Dress it up with smart wool trousers in a high waisted option or a cigarette style, paired with a chic blouse, pussy bows made a return at Chloe and Balmain try this or a fitted high collared shirt and statement necklace or bow tie. Finish off this look with a great to the knee camel coat, if your comfortable enough to wear an A-line style A La Ungaro and Chloe go for it! if not wrap a cute little leather belt round it knotting it after buckling it or buy an already belted option. For the opposite, street style option try a camel parka over a denim shirt and those black leather skinny fit trousers, Chloe sent a few models down the runway in great leather trousers.

The colour palette:
it's pretty apparent camel is your go to colour of focus for this look, but how to pair it? camel goes great with similar colours like beige, amber and brown, but also go bright try pairing to colour trends of the season together and try purple and camel. Denim goes great with camel too so don't be afraid to wear your jeans with a smart coat.
